The main controller raised his head and glanced at his eyeballs, and said helplessly: "Let's go back to the city first, repair the broken place and come back again!"
"It can only be this way!"
The deputy glanced down and said: "When Hai Dongqing flew out just now, I remembered their tents. When we come back again, we will blow up all the tents in that area!"
"Okay!" The master controller nodded and controlled the hot air balloon to continue rising.
The deputy also pulled down the curtain that blocked the light again to prevent another sneak attack by Hai Dongqing.
The hot air balloon flies southward with the wind.
On Yuguan City, when they saw the flames rising into the sky from the north, the Eastern barbarian cannon fodder attacking the city stopped in unison and turned to look at the north. Many of the cannon fodder squatted on the ground and started crying.
Their camp in the main camp was very close to the hayfield, and they knew very well how serious the consequences would be if the hayfield burned.
Their families, cattle and sheep may not be burned to death directly, but supplies in the camp will definitely be in short supply, and their cattle and sheep will definitely starve to death.
As for their family, they dare not think about it.
At this moment, the morale of the cannon fodder fell to the bottom.
On the city wall, the night shift escorts raised their arms and cheered.
In recent days, they have been facing endless enemy sieges. They are tired and angry.
Because many comrades who lived together day and night died under the sword of the enemy.
But there was nothing they could do.
The enemy was so outnumbered that they did not dare to go down the city wall, let alone take the initiative to attack.
This makes many escorts feel angry.
After persisting for so many days, our side finally began to counterattack, and burned down the opponent's fodder field as soon as it started.
This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the escorts.
Even Liu Tie and Mr. Tian showed a long-lost smile.
They finally found a way to fight back.
Soldiers and horses move forward before food and grass are used. As soldiers, they all understand the importance of food and grass.
After burning the opponent's food and grass, most of the enemy has been defeated.
As long as they persist for a few more days, the enemy will retreat on their own!
"When the hot air balloon comes back, we must reward these two brothers heavily!"
Liu Tie patted the city wall and said excitedly: "They are good!"
Mr. Tian stroked his beard and was about to speak when he suddenly looked up at the sky and frowned slightly.
Liu Tie quickly raised his head when he saw this.
They saw two sea greens flying from the north, hovering above them by the light of the fire in the hayfield.
"What are they doing?" Liu Tie asked.
"Stop the hot air balloon from landing!" Mr. Tian replied with a frown.
"They have a good idea," Liu Tie snorted coldly, turned around and shouted: "Where is the heavy crossbow, help me shoot down these two dead birds!"
Following Liu Tie's order, more than half of the heavy crossbows on the city wall were aimed at the sky.
The arrows flew into the air one after another, but Hai Dongqing was too flexible. After sensing the danger, he quickly started to fly high into the sky.
The heavy crossbow arrows are too heavy and can fly very far when fired flatly. They only fly a few hundred meters before falling.
At this time, Hai Dongqing's height had exceeded the range of the heavy crossbow, and in the dark night, the crossbowmen on the city wall could no longer see Hai Dongqing clearly in the sky.
But everyone knows that they are still there.
Including two pilots at higher altitudes.
Looking up from below, it is pitch black, but looking down from a high altitude, because there are bonfires on the ground and the firelight from the forage yard, you can see two small black spots hovering below from time to time.
The two looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
They all know that if they land now, they will definitely be attacked by Hai Dongqing.
"Brother, how about we fight with crossbows?"
The deputy took out the hand crossbow and said: "Let's kill these two dead birds with one weapon each!"
"No, Haidongqing is too flexible. You were lucky to be able to kill one just now. Now they are frightened and they will definitely not dare to approach us easily again."
The master controller shook his head and said: "It's too difficult to shoot them at night. Once they fly over our heads, it's over. Even the last hot air balloon can't be saved!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" the deputy said anxiously: "There is not much kerosene left, we must go back to replenish the kerosene!"
Just now, in order to burn more fodder, they threw down too many kerosene jars, and now the kerosene reserve on the hot air balloon is seriously insufficient.
"Hai Dongqing is guarding down below, how do we get back?"
The main pointer banged the basket irritably.
"Then what should we do? Are we just floating up there like this?"
The deputy gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, let's give it a try!"
"If you fight hard, you will be reckless! There are more people raising eagles in the Eastern Barbarians than there are pigeons here. Even if you kill two dead birds, what's the use? They can send ten more tomorrow!"
The main controller kicked the deputy: "The teacher told us when he taught us, we must learn to use our heads!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" the deputy asked unconvinced.
The controller looked down, then turned around and asked, "Are you afraid of death?"
"Brother, as you said, as long as it is an individual, who is not afraid of death?"
The deputy smiled bitterly, and then said: "But if I am destined to die, I don't want to die in a cowardly manner!
Brother, if you have any plans, tell me directly!"
"Let's go and burn the food and grass in King Jin's camp. What do you think?"
The master controller said: "King Jin's people have come from afar. As long as we burn their food and grass, they will definitely not be able to hold on for a few days!"
"What a good idea you have!"
After hearing this, the deputy's eyes suddenly lit up: "Without food and grass, King Jin's people will retreat on their own, and we won't have to guard the south wall!"
They were still defending the city yesterday, and they knew very well how much pressure the escorts were under when faced with a north-south attack.
In particular, the southern city wall was not fully prepared and the wall was much lower. Although the offensive of the Jin-Barbarian coalition was not as violent as that of the Eastern Barbarians, the casualty rate on the southern city wall was much higher than that on the northern city wall.
If the Jin-Barbarian coalition forces withdraw, the pressure on the bodyguards will be reduced by more than half.
"You kid, have you thought about it? We only have this little kerosene left to burn the food and grass in King Jin's camp, but we won't be able to fly far."
The master controller said: "We may be caught by King Jin's people then, please think about it!"
In fact, if they want to escape now, they can drive the hot air balloon southward over the Jinwang Camp, and then quietly find a place to land and hibernate. With the emergency supplies prepared on the hot air balloon, they can live in the wilderness for a long time.
But the current pressure in Yuguan City is too great, and they are worried that the bodyguards and female soldiers will not be able to defend it.
"Brother, are you looking down on your brother?"
The deputy's lips couldn't help but tremble, but he spoke boldly: "When have our escorts from Jinchuan ever been afraid of death?
If Brother Tiezi hadn't dragged me to the escort agency, I would have starved to death! Damn it!"
"Fuck you!"
The main controller smiled and patted his deputy on the shoulder, then controlled the hot air balloon to fly south.
